1. Basically them all.
2. 350 I think
3. Toyota have them all if you are willing to pay.
4. Rear diffs, driveshafts, viscous couplings have all gone, whether that is through bad maintenance you need to ask the owners.
5. I changed 1st out for a GT first, its not much use with that sort of power.
6. It will run out of gears about 125 mph at the stock rev limit, means you are in 5th over the line. Launches well but its no Evo.
7. 125 mph on the stock rev limit.
8. Meister do coilovers, some bushes from the GT are compatable. Handles pretty well with decent stock shocks and lowering springs.

Gotta open the box and strip it down. Do synchros while you're there. I paid 350 to get mine done.

You could put a full GT set in there if you wanted, looses some of its punch on acceleration if you do but.

You may run out of gears on the strip with that set up, either the Gt first gear and final drive or all the GT gears would give you more.
